Free Parking and Bus Schedule for Hampton Beach, New Hampshire Seafood Festival

The 35th Seafood Festival, Hampton Beach, New Hampshire

This weekend, Friday, September 6, 2024 - Sunday September 8, 2024 is one of my favorites of the year.

I can't help you if you want to avoid the crowds for the 35th annual Seafood Festival on Hampton Beach, however, don't be discouraged about parking.  There are a lot of places to ditch the car and hitch a ride.

First Student, according to seafoodfestivalnh.com, is offering free parking and shuttle service to the Festival on Friday and Saturday.  It is the most cost effective way to go to and from the biggest party on the seacoast.

How much is it for the bus?  Free.  It's free.  Believe you me, if you do the Festival like I do, you're going to spend plenty when you get there.  I mean, you have to decide if the best chowder really IS the best, right?

The busses are also going to be the fastest way to get in and out of the fun things going on at the Festival.

There's a new addition to all the parking spots this year, the Brook in Seabrook. 

Where & When:

Shuttles run the following schedule at The Brook in Seabrook, to the festival on the hour, every hour and on the half hour coming back:
Friday 12:00pm - 10:00pm
Saturday 10:00am - 10:00pm
